7 Sensational Sandwich Breads
Tired of the same old slices? Upgrade your sandwiches with these seven bread recipes that will transform your next meal from ordinary to extraordinary. From soft-textured sourdough to soft slider buns, we have the perfect canvas for your dream sandwich.
Ciabatta Rolls
The large, open crumb that’s characteristic of ciabatta bread comes from a high hydration level in the dough as well as a poolish, which is a type of preferment (a fermentation starter or, sometimes, a “mother dough”) that gives bread a slightly nutty flavor and thin crust. Pile these rolls high with salami, provolone, and other Italian ingredients for perfect panini!
Cuban Bread
Both Tampa and Miami have long fought to be named the birthplace of pan Cubano, or Cuban bread, and there’s no denying the appeal of this delectable bread. With a crisp outer crust and incredibly soft crumb inside, a warm, fresh-baked loaf of Cuban bread is an experience in and of itself. However, when filed with your favorite sandwich toppings and pressed, this bread reigns supreme.
Potato Rolls
Using mashed potato in the dough creates a tighter crumb structure while also giving the rolls extra moisture and a soft texture. These pillowy rolls absorb all the flavors of your patties and toppings for your ultimate burger.
Sourdough Sandwich Loaf
You probably envision sourdough bread as a crusty, chewy boule, but this version is a richly flavored, soft-textured loaf. It’s the perfect bread for your ultimate grilled cheese. Another option is to rub fresh garlic on a slice of toasted sourdough and top it with perfectly ripe tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and fresh basil. Or enjoy the most wonderful slice of toast simply slathered with butter and sprinkled with flaked salt.
Soft Slider Buns
Sliders get their name from United States Navy sailors who would say that their small size lets them “slide down” easily. Sour cream adds fat and moisture to the dough and helps create short gluten strands, which means a tender, rich bread. Try them topped with pulled pork.
Rye Sandwich Bread
We love this Rye Sandwich Bread loaf because of its unbeatable texture, deep rye flavor, and versatility. It can be baked in a standard loaf pan, a Pullman pan, or hand-shaped into a rustic batard or boule. This kind of versatility makes a perfect starter loaf for the timid baker!
